I'm not sure what you think I'm trying to fool people about. When Go comes up, I sometimes want to talk about how good I think it is. I hope you don't think I'm trying to hide that. It is pretty common on HN to comment on the merits of a thing when the thing itself comes up, even if said merits are not the specific subject of the link.

I can see that I am putting some people off with my commentary, but other people apparently got new information. Hard to say whether this is a win or loss on net. Time will tell, sooner or later.
